Slow Cooker Beef Tips and Rice

Stacey – May 20, 2014 – 365 Comments

Jump to Recipe Save Recipe

These Slow Cooker Beef Tips are the perfect hearty meal for a busy weeknight!

When the temperature heats up, most people put their slow cookers away.  For me, it’s just the opposite! 

I love using my slow cooker to prepare meals during the hotter months because the old trusty appliance is a great way to get a meal on the table quickly and easily without heating up the entire kitchen.

My version of this Slow Cooker Beef Tips and Rice is a family favorite because it’s so easy and hearty.  Dump all the ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning and come home to the delicious smells of dinner ready-to-eat. 

I also love to use these slow cooker liners to make clean up super easy!  Throw together a quick side or salad and add some white rice and it’s go-time!

I get questions every now and then about searing the meat before it goes into the slow cooker.  The thing is, while it does add flavor, it doesn’t really do anything to “seal in the juices” as was once thought.  

If you’ve got some extra time, it’s a great way to add a little flavor, but in all honesty, it’s something I rarely do – especially during the busy week.  Weekday mornings don’t really offer any “extra” time for searing meat these days and we don’t see a huge difference in the taste.       Beef Tips served over rice

It’s going to turn out delicious either way!  And be sure to check out the note at the bottom of the recipe about thin gravy.  It happens a lot in slow cooking and I’ve got a super easy way to thicken it back up.  Y’all enjoy!

Slow Cooker Beef Tips and Rice

Course Main Course
Cuisine American
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 8 hours
Total Time 8 hours 10 minutes
Author Stacey Little | Southern Bite

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds beef stew meat
  • 1 (10.75-ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 (1.61-ounce) packet brown gravy mix (see note)
  • 1 beef bullion cube
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 small onion chopped

Instructions

  • Combine the ingredients in the bowl of a 4-quart slow cooker and mix to combine. Cook covered on low for 7 to 8 hours. Serve over hot white rice.

Notes

If you can't find the larger packet of brown gravy mix (one that makes 2 cups of gravy) then you can use two smaller packets.
Find the gravy too thin?  Simply mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold broth or water in a small bowl.   Stir the mixture into the slow cooker.  Cover and increase the heat to high for about 20 minutes or until the sauce has thickened.

    I am only giving 4 stars because we feel like it lacked a lot of flavor. I still gave it 4 stars because it was super easy, low amount of ingredients that were already in my pantry, and in low for 8 hours the meat was so tender it was ridiculous. I followed the recipe to a T but we still ended up adding in some salt and pepper to give some more flavor afterwards. Next time I make this I am just going to add in additional seasonings from the beginning. All and all this is a great recipe and I have added it to our rotation!

      Thanks so much! Everyone’s taste preference is different and that’s why I always encourage salt and pepper to taste!

    So good! I did add 2TBSP of flour because the sauce was thin, and I added some salt, pepper, garlic, and onion powder to taste. Served over mashed potatoes. Was SO good!

    Do you think you can make this in a Crockpot Express for a quicker meal?
